Bustone Roxane Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Roxane, first off, huge congrats on finishing 120th overall and 37th in your age group! That puts you in the top 24% and 29% respectively out of nearly 500 athletes. You clearly have some strong running chops, as evidenced by your Total Running Time of 39:25, which was 2:32 faster than average. That’s impressive! Your best running lap of 4:18 shows you have speed to burn, especially in the second half of the race, where you crushed those running segments.

However, it looks like you might have miscalculated your pacing at the start. Your first run was 1:32 slower than average, which could have cost you some precious seconds. You have a runner's profile, so let’s harness that speed and refine your strength to make you a more balanced athlete. With some focused training on your weaker segments, you’ll be a force to reckon with on the Hyrox floor! 💪

Segments to Improve:

• Wall Balls (5:48): This segment was a significant time sink for you, being 1:40 slower than average. Wall balls require not just strength but also endurance and rhythm. Focus on:
  • Drills: Incorporate high-rep wall balls into your workouts. Start with 15-20 reps and gradually increase. Try to maintain a consistent rhythm throughout.
  • Technique: Keep your core tight and your feet shoulder-width apart. Focus on a smooth squat and explosive push to launch the ball for a higher trajectory.
• Sled Push (3:02): Slower than average by 0:31. Improve your leg strength and power output:
  • Drills: Include sled pushes in your training, focusing on shorter distances at maximum effort. Aim for sets of 20-30 meters.
  • Technique: Keep your body low and push through your heels, driving with your legs while maintaining a stable core.
• Sled Pull (5:46): This was 0:45 slower than average. Focus on grip strength and upper body endurance:
  • Drills: Incorporate rope pulls or weighted rows into your routine to build upper body strength.
  • Technique: Make sure you're using a strong pull technique, keeping your body low and leveraging your hips.
• Farmers Carry (2:14): Just 0:11 slower than average, but every second counts! To improve:
  • Drills: Perform farmers carries for distance or time with a focus on heavy weights.
  • Technique: Keep your shoulders back and core engaged. Don’t let your grip relax.
• Sandbag Lunges (4:12): 0:02 slower than average. To enhance this segment:
  • Drills: Incorporate weighted lunges into your strength training, focusing on maintaining balance and form.
  • Technique: Ensure your knees don’t go past your toes during the lunge, and keep your chest up.

Race Strategies:

• Pacing: Start your race with a more controlled pace on the first run. Aim for a 6:00 pace instead of a 6:17 to keep your energy for the later segments.
• Transition Time
• Mindset: Remember that Hyrox is as much mental as it is physical. Use positive self-talk during tough segments. Remind yourself, “I’m stronger than I was yesterday!”
